For n New Seminary.

THE LUTHERAN MINISTERIUM RAISING FUNDS.
The question OF raising the money necessary for
the erection OF new seminary building occupied
most of yesterdays session Of the Evangelical
Lutheran Mnisterium of Pennsylvania and ada
jacent States, in Philadelphia. The subject
was brought before the body by the reading
OF the annual report OF the directors OF the new
theological seminary by the Rev. B. NJ. Schumacher,
ID. ID. 1t was stated that the property at Mount
Airy had been purchased for S35 900. Rev. Dr. b.
NJ. Schumacher, on behalf OF the board Of directors
addressed the mlniSterium. He said that the
amount collected during the year was so small as
not to warrant the board in proceeding with the
erection OF the new seminary building. Only So 600
was secured during that year, and OF that amount
Is was necessary to pay $1,000 on the ground. The
agents estimate is that the Of 1914 900 will be
necessary for the alterations on the new building.
The seminary during the past year was filled from
first floor to attic with students At the afternoon
session considerable discussion was had on the
subject or the, new seminary, and the matter was
finally referred to committee Of seven, who will
report to-day.

ALL THE EVIDENCE IN-TRYING TO PROVE THAT KATIE
ANDERSON SHOT HERSELF.
Further testimony was offered by the defense in
the Peak murder trial at Mount Holly, N. j., yes
terday, to prove that the wound In Katie Ander-
sons brain might have been self-inflicted even If
there were no marks OF powder or burning Of the
skin visible. Mrs. Peak, the mother OF Barclay
Peak, testified that she heard Katie Anderson say
II she died before Christmas She would make the
devil good Christmas dinner. Mrs. Peak said
that Katie had been respondent some time before
the shooting. Caleb Ruff, a neighbor OF the An
dersons, said he asked Katie what was the matter
with her during her illness, and that she answered
that she had ''water on the BRAIN" She did not
then recognize him. Joseph Peak the defendants
father said that Bart was not out OF the house on
the night OF the shooting, and went to bed before
O'Clock. Mrs. Mcintosh, OF Mount Holly, testi-
fed that Mrs. Brewer told her she was going to
swear Peaks life away, as he might kill her huS-
band next. Mrs. Brewer also said she saw Bart's
pistol at COlkittS the night before the shooting
This closed the testimony for the defense.
Squire JnO. Z. Taylor was recalled by the prose-
cutiOn, and testified that when Bart was arrested
he denied being out OF the house on Monday night,
and said he went to bed at 7:30 O'Clock. AT the
hearing Amanda Peak made no allusion to Katie
Anderson having threatened to take paris green
and put herself out OF the way.

The Mystery of Lena ZOrn.

EVIDENCE THAT her BODY WAS PUT WHERE 1T WAS
FOUND.
The New York Sun to-day says: The.mystery
attending the disappearance OF little Magdalena
Zorn from pincic, has not been solved but deep
ened by the finding OF her mangled remains in the
marsh below Fort George. To the question,
"Where is she?" which was to the police and pub
lie an eight days wonder, has succeeded the
query, "How did she get there?" and
over this the police are more baffied and
the public more mystiled than they were
before fate and an accident disclosed her
whereabouts. Yesterdays Investigations by The
Sun practically wiped out all doubt as to whether
the girl met her death by accidental or designed
discovery made early in the day by The Sun that
when the body OF the girl was found instead OF its
being fully clothed, as was stated to the police
and the coroner at the Carmansvile police station
IL was entirely naked, except for short knit un.
dershirt. The clothing lay beside the body in the
was found. With the discovery OF this fact disap-
pears the theory that she fell over a bluff broke
an arm and leg, dragged herself into the marsh
and was drowned and taken by the tide to where
her body was found.
The meeting of the three emperors, OF which
some doubt was entertained, is now regarded as q
certainty.

HOW THE WASHINGTON LIEUTENANTS REyKL IN
Lieut.. Mark Langdon, OF the Cincinnati police,
who was here at the National Drill, has been
telling the boys what he saw in Washington. The
Cincinnati Enquirer reports him as telling the
following yarn about the District police:
"Ihey have very good force and treated me
very cleverly, but our department can knock the
stuhng out of them. The city is divided into six
districts, each presided over by lieutenant. You
ought 10 see how these lieutenantS do business.
Each has private Office at his Station-hOuSe the
floor OF which is carpeted with the finest Brussels.
An elegant easy chair stands in front OF a rosewood
desk lie has two clerks who register the priS-
onerS make out all reports, and in fact, do all the
writing III necessary at any time, these Secre-
taTieS ask him for Instructions The lieutenant is
understood 10 be on duty from a. m. to IL p m
Part OF the time he spends out in the district. II
he should feel weary or wish TO take an afternoon
sieSta, the most pleasant arrangements have been
prepared. Adjoining his Office Is an apartment
furnished with oriental luxury. In one corner is
dOwny couch, so soft and Turing that sleep comes
without the bidding. The foot sinks ankle-deep
into the thick carpet. Costly oil paintings hang
on the inlaid walls, and feathered songsters
MARBLE the wearied officer into balmy repOSe
Pampered royalty could not desire more luxurious
surroundings. These favored mOrtalS are old and
tried veterans who have earned the generous
treatment accorded them. It's different here"

Lake yesterday morning, and the President, Col.
Lamont, and two other members OF the party, with

toward Birch Island, and having dispatched the
tempting lunches, the return up che lake was made
slowly. shower set in late in the afternoon just
as the boats were put into Fish Creek to give the
President a chance TO take some speckled trout
with light rod and flies. The creek was swarm
ing with black flies and mosquitoes, which con-
tested every foot OF the advance made by the Pres
idents party: Having made good tight for a
while, The fisherman finally gave up the battle
and retired with many evidences OF bad usage
from their tiny-winged adversarieS. After land
ing at the hotel at half-past the Presidents fish
were weighed He had caught one fish weighing
seven and three-quarter pounds, one OF seven
pounds, one of three and one of two pounds. 1t
was the best catch, save one, OF the day. Yester-
day afternoon Mrs. Cleveland gave delightful
"tea TO the ladies OF the Saranac Inn. 1t was in
formal, but was most agreeable entertainment,
Mrs. Cleveland making and pouring the tea, and
Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. DR.. BOSNIAN assisting her.
